$SrBi_{2x}TaO_9$ ferroelectric thin films were prepared on platinized silicon substrates using MOD proces, and crystallization behavior of the films was investigated with variation of the annealing temperature and Bi content x. Crystalline phase of bismuth layered perovskite structure was formed even by baking the films at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes in air, and was not changed by annealing at temperatures raning from $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in oxygen ambient. When $SrBi_{2x}TaO_9$ thin films ($0.8\lex\ie1.6$) were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$, Preferred orientation of the films along c-axis was observed with $x\ge1.2$. With increasing Bi content x, surface morphology of the films was changed from equiaxed grains to elongated grains.

Amorphous $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering under various conditions, and studied by the spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). To determine the optical constants as a function of photon energy and also to depth-profile the as-deposited $TiO_2$ thin films, we analyzed the ellipsometric spectra using the effective medium approximation and the dispersion equations. Especially, we improved the modeling accuracy by selectively using either the Sellmeier or the Forouhi and Bloomer dispersion equation in different energy regions.

AlN thin film for SAW filter application was deposited on (100) silicon wafers by reactive magnetron sputtering method. The structural characteristics were dependent on the deposition conditions such as sputtering pressure, RF power, substrate temperature, and nitrogen partial pressure. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Electron Probe MicroAnalyzer (EPMA) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) have been used to find out structural properties and preferred orientation of AlN thin films. Insertion loss of SAW devices was 28.51 dB and out of band rejection was about 24 dB.

High efficiency thin film solar cells require an absorber layer with high absorption and low defect, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film with high transmittance of over 80% and a high conductivity. Furthermore, light can be captured through the glass substrate and sent to the light absorbing layer to improve the efficiency. In this paper, morphology formation on the surface of glass substrate was investigated by using HF, mainly classified as random etching and periodic etching. We discussed about the etch mechanism, etch rate and hard mask materials, and periodic light trapping structure.

The ion beam alignment technique is one of the potential and fascinating methods. However, there are merely a few reports about aligning nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) horizontally for in-plane switching mode (IPS) by means of low energy ion beam exposure on inorganic materials such as DLC. In this study, we have investigated the tilted vertical alignment of NLC by the ion beam technique on the thin films of various amorphous silicon compounds as new inorganic alignment materials. Appropriate pretilt angles of NLC with preferred orientation on these thin films were achieved. And the electro-optic property of vertically aligned single domain cells has been investigated.

Conducting polymers have band structures similar to those of inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Several electronic devices have been constructed with conjugated polymers, mainly Schottky diodes and Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MISFET's). Organic semiconductor has been reported as active materials in MISFET's.$^{1.4}$ In our laboratory, $\alpha$-Sexithiencyl ($\alpha$-6T) has been synthesized and purified by sublimation method. In this study, thin films of $\alpha$-Sexithienyl were prepared on various substrates in ultra-high vacuum chamber by vacuum evaporation method, so called OMBD(Organic Molocular Beam Deposition).$^{7.9}$ The $\alpha$-Sexithienyl thin films were deposited with various deposition conditions. The crystalline structure, and molecular orientation of these films have being studied by using UV/Vis. spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractometry.

ZnO thin films for light emission device have been deposited on sapphire and silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique(PLD). A Nd:YAG laser was used with the wavelength of 355 nm. In order to investigate the emission properties of ZnO thin films, PL measurements with an Ar ion laser as a light source using an excitation wavelength of 351 nm and a power of 100 mW are used. All spectra were taken at room temperature by using a grating spectrometer and a photomultiplier detector. ZnO exhibited PL bands centered around 390, 510 and 640 nm, labeled near ultra-violet (UV), green and orange bands. Structural properties of ZnO thin films are analized with X-ray diffraction (XRD).

We give pressure stimulation into organic thin films and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition that the state surface pressure is 20[mN/m]. LB layers of Arac. acid deposited by LB method were deposited onto Y-type silicon wafer as x, y, z-type film. In processing of a device manufacture, we can see the process is good from the change of a surface pressure for organic thin films and transfer ratio of area per molecule. The structure of manufactured device is Au/arachidic acid/Al, the number of accumulated layers Also, we then examined of the MIM device by means of I-V. The I-V characteristic of the device is measured from 0 to +2[V].

One of the major problems for poly-Si TFTs is the large off state leakage current. LDD (lightly doped drain) and offset gated structures have been employed in order to reduce the leakage current. However, these structures also redcue the oN current significantly due to the extra series resistance caussed by the LDD or offset region. It is desirable to have a device which would have the properties of the offset gated structure in the OFF state, while behaving like a fully gated device in the oN state. Therefore, we propose a new thin film transistor with pnp junction gate which reduce the leakage curretn during the OFF state without sacrificing the ON current during the ON state.
